The 1976 Maserati Merak SS is a true Italian classic, born of Maserati's desire to create a more affordable sports car without compromising on style and performance. The Merak SS is the more powerful, lighter version of the original Merak and is known for its balance of speed, refinement and emotion.
Italian style and craftsmanship
The Merak SS, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, shares much of its design with the more expensive Maserati Bora, but is distinguished by the distinctive arches at the rear and the black grille between the folding headlights. This Merak is painted a beautiful red, with tight sheet metal and good fits. The paint is well cared for and free of significant damage, which adds to the impressive look of this sports car.
Performance and character
Under the hood of this Merak SS is a 3.0-liter V6 that produces a whopping 220 horsepower. Thanks to the lighter weight and extra horsepower of the SS version, this Maserati delivers exciting performance, competing at the time with the Ferrari 308 GT4 Dino and the Lamborghini Urraco. The five-speed manual transmission shifts smoothly and contributes to the involved driving experience you would expect from an Italian sports car.
Authentic and well-maintained interior
The interior of this Merak SS is a delight for lovers of Italian cars. The cloth seats offer good comfort and are covered with a beautiful fabric in original condition. The dashboard features the signature Italian gauges and instruments, all of which are in working condition. This particular example also features a small rear seat, especially useful for extra luggage.
Ready for driving pleasure
With its well-maintained technology, including a rebuilt suspension and a well-tuned engine, this Maserati offers a fantastic driving experience. The V6 engine sounds phenomenal and the steering is sharp and precise. This is a Merak that not only impresses with its looks, but also drives wonderfully. The car is ready to go, with no major attention points or projects, making it immediately suitable for carefree driving pleasure.
This 1976 Maserati Merak SS combines beautiful design with pure driving experience, and is a must-have for lovers of Italian sports cars.
